Please reread Larry's original response and follow his advice (always
use forward slashes in pathnames given to CVS). This:

   cvs -d :local:z:/iil/iswp/data/apt/ISIS/repository co trycvs

should work just fine. The : after z will not be confused by CVS as a
field separator.

P.S. - even in MS' own software, "\\z\" is *NOT* equivalent to
"z:\". The former describes a *machine*, and the latter describes a
*disk* mounted (either locally or remotely) on the local machine.
